NEW :  I finally found Bandoh Homepage !!  Click HERE for the official SZ13 / SZ13X parts page !

Bandoh is quite a well known mechanic in Japan.  He has worked with Keiichi Tsuchiya1  as advisors in PlayStation games -- the "Tokyo Capital High Speed" series. To my knowledge Bandoh went to South East Asia to help the Toyota team with tuning the Caldina racing vehicles.  (Hong Kong driver Charles Kwan won the 1997 S.E. Asia Touring Car championship 1997 in his BMW 320i.)

The Bandoh shop has become a popular hangout for Japanese boy racers.  The pictures below show Silvia S13 and 180sx vehicles with SEALAZONE bodykits. Wheels used are Enkei RS III multi-piece wheels.  Enkei has two models : one for front and one for rear, as the rear wheel has significantly more offset (how much the wheel is from its mount.  e.g. for rear, the more the offset, the longer the distance between the two rear wheels)

At this stage I haven't seen a SEALAZONE bodykit nor tuning package for S14 Silvia.  This may be due to the presence of the Kei-Office brand, named after Drift King Tsuchiya. However, Bandoh has worked with RS-R to build a Nismo Silvia for JGTC GT300 class.  (see the big Bandoh word on the top of the wind screen?)
 
In my humble opinion, the SEALAZONE package makes the S13 look gorgeous!  Bandoh has made the most stylish S13 I have ever come across!  Already several readers have claimed the SZ13 to be the most beautiful S13 Silvia they've seen !  Note that the silver car shown here is tuned mostly for street use, as the suspension is not height adjustible.  (height adjustible units available)
